The business owner was inside at the time in the back stocking some shelves and was not hurt. The taxi driver was able to exit the vehicle on his own. He was not transporting anyone.

"Building Commissioner Steve Desilets...he says they're condemning it until repairs can be made. The health department has also been called in because they have to take a look at what has to be thrown out," Leger explained.
